.Remember when I posted about Benne's blanket and showed you a photo of the blanket before seaming? Well she received her blanket on Monday, and has finally taken a photos of the finished blanket. You can see the blanket here (click on photos to enlarge). I love love love the square with the crab! That is awesome!

Benne is still waiting for the Blankie Tales which will tell her a little about what each square was doing while it was being knit and who made it. Bets is putting this together. Come on Bets! Festina lente! :-) Until then, I can point out a few of the squares to you:

Top row, 1st square is Barbara's dayflower lace; this one was knit right under Benne's nose at Alice Trueman's knitting retreat in Salt Spring Island!!!Top row, 2nd square is Kelly's embossed twining vine lace.Top row, 4th square is mine based on the Hera Scarf.

2nd row, 1st square is Diane's multicolored square.

3rd row, 2nd square is Jan's overlapping leaves.3rd row, 3rd square is Lisa's candle flame lace. You can see larger photos of her square on her blog here.3rd row, 4th square, I think this is Gaile's horseshoe lace. I know she did a green lacy one.3rd row, 5th square is Jayne's; check out her gorgeous yarn on her Etsy shop.

4th row, 1st square is Ghislaine's hourglass lace.4th row, 2nd square is Suzann's log cabin. Poor Suzann was very sick during the time we were putting this project together, yet she still managed to knit this beautiful square and then had her daughter finish up by weaving in the ends and mailing it in time. You can see a larger photo of her square on her blog here.4th row, 3rd square is Trish's cable pattern inspired by the Spring Forward cardigan. You can see a larger photo of her square on her blog here.4th row, 4th square is Alice Trueman's.

Thanks for identifying all the squares Marie. I'm (as usual) lagging in updating my blog so I haven't yet posted a photo of my square. Mine is the first in the fourth row - hourglass lace in nutmeg heather.
